Donna got me! Actually, this is my first tag, so I have to admit that I'm somewhat honored. I'm supposed to reveal to you five (only five this time) oddities about myself. I've spent much of the day pondering and have come up with the following:

1. I despise the red light on my work phone telling me that I have voice mail waiting. I suppose the same goes for the red email messages in Lotus Notes. Perhaps I think that something horrible has happened or is about to be assigned to me.
2. I have a particular order that in which I apply my make-up. If for some reason I go straight from eyeliner to foundation, I don't even realize I've forgotten mascara.
3. I suck at changing my earrings. I most often wear a pair I got from my parents for graduation from college. I can sleep and shower and even swim in them, so why bother changing? When Christmas or a birthday rolls around I sometimes ask for earrings. I got some new ones this year and am even wearing them today. And I wore a different pair yesterday too! Impressive, isn't it?
4. I try to ignore genetics. I have high cholestrol. So does my father and my mother is borderline. It's a fact. Diet and excercise just won't do it in my case. I know, I know, I'm making an appt with an internist this week (well, who knows when the appt will actually be, but I'm going to make it this week).
5. Along with reading the obituaries in my hometown newspaper online, I also often check the new baby pages on the alumni site from the university I went to. I rarely admit this for fear that others will think that I'm baby crazy. I like to see what people are naming their kids, and sometimes I even see a baby born to someone I knew. It is also sort of amusing to see which picture the proud new parents choose to display on such a site.

Now the tough part: tagging others to play along. Well, I'm not sure they even stop by here much, but I'd love to see responses from Faith, Kalisah, and Guwi.
